Concealed Carry Classes are an excellent way to begin your training and will help you to understand the gravity and responsibility of carrying a firearm. 

This course uses proprietary content from OXYS, US Lawshield and the more. A beginning firearms book is available for $20 and well worth the cost. Two written tests are administered at the end of class.

Ammunition cost not included - you will need to bring a revolver or semi-auto pistol and at least 50 rounds of ammunition, eye protection and ear protection. If you need to borrow a firearm there is an additional charge - please contact us for details.

After the course, you will take the training affidavit to your local Missouri Sheriff's Office and APPLY for your CCW. The cost varies per county, and is normally $100. Completion of the course does not guarantee that you will obtain a permit.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
